Shreveport Green is seeking volunteers for the Great American Cleanup to be held from 8 a.m. to noon April 14.

Volunteer groups will pick up trash from city streets, parish roads and waterways and beautify area parks by planting flowers and shrubs.

After the clean up, volunteers will be treated to food, prizes and face painting.

T-shirts will be given to the first 600 registered volunteers. The deadline to sign up is April 9.
